CL-877: Amtrak Multi-Ride Service Changes

The Office of General Services (OGS) would like you to be aware of the following Amtrak Multi-Ride Service Changes for New York State government frequent travelers.

As part of RideReserve^SM  program, Multi-Ride tickets will now require confirmations for travel beginning on September 14, 2020. Choosing your trips ahead of time helps manage capacity and promotes physical distancing on every train as well as keeping customers informed about gate and track information, schedule changes and more.

RideReserve^SM is available at Amtrak.com, the Amtrak mobile app or through an Amtrak customer service agent. More information at: https://www.amtrak.com/ride-reserve
